CARING FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
| CHICAGO, Aug. IA Times special
from Forest, Illinois, says: AS fast as
the wounded were brought into Chats
worth from the wreck they were taken
directly to the town HAIL, which has
been turned into temporary hospital.
| This is two-Story frame building, the
lower floor being used as quarters for
the local fire company, while In the
upper hall entertainments are given.
Beds and cots were brought from the
houses, together with the necessary
bedding and suffers are cared for by
loving hands. Torn and bleeding hui
man beings in all the different stages
of suffering lay around the rooms
moaning and crying with agony and
pain while doctors and nurses were
binding up their wounds. Bloody
clothing, torn and covered with mud,
lay around on the floors in heaps, to-
and blankets, on which they had been
brought from the scene of the
wreck. Many patients were under
the influence of ether or chlorOfOrm
while their faces, CHASTITY white, with
teeth tightly clenched, showed the suf-
ferings which they were undergoing
while partially oblivious to the fact.
Blood was eyerywhere' on the fioor,
walls, clothing and hands OF the
wounded, as well as of those who were
caring for them. AS the day wore
away and the afternoon shadows
heightened into evening, the scenes
changed somewhat. The wounded had
been dressed and bandaged and most OF
them rested quietly enough, overcome
by bodily and mental sufferings, rest
ing on comfortable beds, watched by
tender-hearted men and women, the
majority of whom had never seen the
patients until yesterday, they slept
. Obvious to the slaughter which had
taken place. Coal oil lamps were placed
around the halls. their light carefully
shaded, and the scene was strOngl!
) suggestive of the interior of hospita
on the field of battle.
In one corner of the lower hall la!
i John G. Stien, resident of Jerse,
!. City, a large and powerful man. Bot
!, his legs were broken, and he had re
!, ceived such internal injuries as rem
e dered his recovery doubtful.
i: Adam Schleberger of Peoria lay nea
him, semi-conscious and slowly breath
!; ing his life away. One of his legs wa
broken and he was fatally injured in
); ternally.
On the upper floor handsome won
q an about twenty years of age, stylishl
dressed, lay extended on a couch. Sh
q was Miss Hattie Bremen of Farming
ton, Illinois, and was on her way to N
:; agara Falls with several of her relS
tives. In the party was young ma
q named Walters, also of FarmingtoI
and to whom she was engaged to
married. He had been badly injure
); and lay near her on bed, attended b
q a couple of surgeons. While Mis-
Bremen was physically unhurt by th
wreck, the fright and knowledge of he
.; lovers injuries had rendered her il
sane.
In the depot at Chatsworth, an
"a. 1
- morgue, the scene was suggestive of
slaughter house. stretched out on tt
= floors in different directions, were tt
III corpses of men, women and children
dressed in the clothing in which the
Us met their death. In an empty Stol
room, twenty feet wide and forty lon
were counted tWenty-Seven corpses
one time. Their clothing was torn an
!; disheYeled and their stfffened hanG
and arms, in a majority of instance
were crossed over their breasts. II
Us heads of the dead were generally ma
gled in the most frightful manner al
were always covered by some article
clothing.
The face of young woman who W
Az lying on the floor of the depot had be-
so beaten by the cruel car timbers tn

Nv, A man with heavy, dark moustacl

the throat and the lower part of
